Patch or Package ?
The documentation clearly states that a patch must never deliver new
functionality.
What documentation is that? It's clearly buggy.
And I quote:
"A patch must not change the intended delivered behavior of the
package—it is not a mechanism for installing new features. A patch is
used to repair objects installed on the system."

Ah, that's the recommendation to people creating their own patches.
Sun chose long ago to ignore that advice.
